Get out there and do what you love!

Watching the world's best compete fires you up to achieve your own feats of greatness. When it comes to running, participation and spectating go hand in hand.

After we put my son to bed, my husband and I curl up and watch a movie or TV. That's when I finally put up my feet and have my glass of wine and a brownie.

Once you make the decision that you will not fail, the heart and the body will follow.

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.

Set small goals along the way and don't be overwhelmed by the process.

Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.
